Stay at Orlando’s first beach resort
Until the expansive Evermore Orlando Resort opened, visitors to Florida had to choose between staying close to the theme parks or driving a few hours to the nearest beaches. Now, they can easily have both in one day. Close to the major parks and with its own amazing, eight-acre lagoon surrounded by sand beaches, the new Conrad Orlando Hotel is a must-visit for families.

Toast marshmallows around a beach campfire
The kids’ grinning faces light up in the flickering glow as you huddle under blankets around a blazing campfire on Daytona Beach. The salty sea breeze gently ruffles tousled hair and carries their excited laughter down the beach as you toast marshmallows for s’mores in the dancing flames.

Fly over Andalusia in a helicopter
The phrase ‘bird’s eye view’ will suddenly make perfect sense to your children. Sat in a helicopter, looking down over the Sierra de las Nieves and its forested mountains, they’ll enjoy the thrilling perspective that these lucky avians get all the time. Glimpsing Gibraltar ahead, you’ll return to your classy Costa del Sol base: the waterfront, beachside Hotel Don Pepe Gran Meliá.

QATAR
Go ‘dune-bashing’ in Qatar’s desert
First, your drivers will deliberately deflate the vehicle’s tyres. Then, after a 45-minute trip from Qatar’s capital, Doha, it’s time to abandon the tarmac in favour of bouncing, bumping, and whizzing across a classic desert. This is ‘dune bashing’ – cue the laughing, screams, and smiles! But it’s not all about the sand. Soon, the vast, tranquil Khor al-Udeid looms — better known as the ‘Inland Sea’ – where you will spend the night.
